On Sunday night, Melissa was all smiles while strutting her stuff on the Oscars red carpet in an elegant ensemble.
The Little Mermaid actress was all smiles while donning a long-sleeved red dress.
She added a dash of pink to her attire as it was stitched onto her sleeves while more fabric dragged behind her.
She had her brown hair styled to one side and wore minimal but glamorous makeup.
To accessorize her look, Melissa added a silver necklace, earrings, and rings to make her outfit pop.
While presenting with Octavia, many people thought she didn’t do very well.
‘MUTED MY TV’
On X, formerly Twitter, fans shared their honest opinions.
“The Melissa McCarthy and Octavia Spencer monologue was so painful that I had to mute my TV,” one said.
A harsh critic wrote, “I normally love the Oscars, but this year it is awkward, the fashions are not up to par, and Jimmy Kimmel and Melissa McCarthy trying to be funny is just not working.”
“Melissa McCarthy bombed,” a third tweeted.
“Octavia Spencer and Melissa Mccarthy bit was brutal,” wrote a fifth viewer.
‘RADIANT!’
Meanwhile, others praised the Hollywood star and her outfit.
“I’ll never get over how gorgeous Melissa McCarthy is,” one fan said.
A second exclaimed, “Melissa McCarthy looks absolutely RADIANT!”
Last month, fans were left wowed at her weight loss transformation after seeing a photo of the star.
Melissa posted several Instagram videos and photos over the past few months looking slimmer-than-ever.
Last year, the star filmed a video while shooting for Thunder Force alongside Octavia.
The camera panned around the pair who were dancing on an abandoned street.
Melissa wore a skin-tight black leather bodysuit which clung to her curves.
It contained detailing at the waist, which further accentuated her slimmed-down figure.
“Happy Birthday @octaviaspencer !!! Can’t believe we’ve been dancing together for almost three decades, I love you!!!,” she captioned the post.
Melissa again showed her slim figure over the festive period when she donned a fitted red dress.
She held candles and danced towards a camera with a Christmas headband on.
The turtle-neck dress had ballooned sleeves, but cinched in at the waist.
‘YOU LOOK SO HAPPY AND HEALTHY’
Fans flooded the comments with admiration for Melissa’s slim figure.
“You look fabulous!!! Both of you are fire,” said one fan.
“Oh my God you look amazing,” added another.
“Damn,” a third simply wrote.
“You both look so happy and healthy,” gushed a fourth.
“Wow you have lost a lot of weight! You look amazing,” noted a fifth.
Melissa spoke to People magazine and revealed where she lost her weight.
HER WEIGHT LOSS JOURNEY
She admitted that after she landed her role on Gilmore Girls, she attempted a doctor-supervised all-liquid diet, which led her to lose 70 pounds in four months.
“I’d never do that again. I felt starved and crazy half the time,” she said.
Melissa has since reportedly lost around 75 pounds.
She says her weight loss secret has nothing to do with insane diets, calorie restriction, or intense workout regimens.
“I finally said [to myself], ‘Oh for God sakes, stop worrying about it, and it may be the best thing I’ve ever done,” she shared on CBS.
“I truly stopped worrying about [my weight].
“I stopped over-analyzing, over-thinking, over-doing anything…I just stopped constantly being worried about it and I think there’s something to kinda loosening up and not being so nervous and rigid about it that, bizarrely, has worked.”
